A Flame For Old Friends

Is there life on Mars

Do sad lovers play guitars

Do they hold their breaths

Do they cross their fingers

Do they let their friendship slide

when they reach the other side

Of their broken hearts or hope it lingers

It's been so long since you called my name

We meet again

Beneath some ashes there's some kind of flame

For old friends old friend

Well you know my face

like you know your own

I know your every gesture

every sigh and moan

Here we flirt and we chatter

in some airport lounge

Is this an arrival or departure

Are we homeward bound

It's seems so long since you called my name

We meet again

Beneath some ashes there's some kind of flame

For old friends

It's seemed so long since you called my name

Can we meet again

Beneath our ashes is there still a flame

For an old friend old friend for an old friend old friend

Well is there life on Mars

Do sad lovers play guitars

Did you hold your breath

Or cross your fingers
